This is a typically elegant tool solution from Japan. It combines some of the properties of a Surform plane but the cutting edges look like hacksaw blades on their end. You can use it like a traditional rasp to rapidly shape material, its open design prevents clogging and having a smooth and course side you can get a better finish than with a rasp. It seems less likely to tear soft materials. It has a nicely made handle and is well balanced for either one handed or two handed use, and you could probably use it all day long without it feeling uncomfortable. I'm loving it already. Looks like a vicious cheese grater but out performs anything else i have. My new favorite tool.

One of those tools I had my eye on for a while and kept thinking "umm... A bit pricey for a rasp!" I kept seeing them on various videos and I still kept thinking I should buy one. Why on earth didn't I buy one sooner? They make such light work on so many jobs that I do. One harsh side and one lighter side and they work incredibly well. I think it's well made and even though I've used it a fair few times already you can just tell it'll last for a long time. I've mainly used this on Oak and it removes a lot of material very quickly. Flip it over for some finer removal before sanding... Brilliant.

This rasp gives fast material removal combined but leaves a good surface that really only needs a hand samding to finish. It feels really solid, and the handle is comfortable. The coarse side cuts like a bastard, the fine is cleaner than a filed finish. Buy this rasp and love it!

This tool is super sharp, removes stock at an amazing speed. The fine side gives a cleaner finish than 80 grit paper. If this one ever wares out I'll buy another.
